Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The work in question is the 'Sechster Theil' (Sixth Part) of the collected works of Paracelsus, published in Frankfurt in 1603. While individual treatises contained within this volume (such as the Archidoxis) have been translated into English in various collections over the centuries, there is no evidence of a complete, unified English translation of this specific 1603 volume. Therefore, this volume represents a collection that has never been translated in its entirety as a single work.

Paracelsus rejects the stagnant medicine of his day to hunt for the hidden, immortal sparks within physical matter. Readers will learn how to extract the Quintessence from the world to heal disease and potentially stop the decay of the human body.
